Description

1879 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Vivid deep honey-orange and warm rose surfaces support a sharp to full strike with soft, frosty mint luster throughout. Half eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint continued to step up in 1879, the facility striking 301,920 coins for commercial use. The 1879 is much more plentiful in AU and Mint State than most of the early dated Philadelphia Mint half eagles going back to 1862, but it is also scarcer than most later date issues in this series.
PCGS# 8348. NGC ID: 25X7.
From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.

Estimate: $500
